And yes, they're 'Elan doors' -- proof that they're original. Only over-restored Elans have doors that don't stick out at the rear-bottom (on both sides).
Yep on the doors - they are all like that. Something about the mold wearing over time and Colin not worried about it enough to make new molds...

Mine do that too.

As for the front fender, I had to look at photos of mine, and yep, my S4's are "squared off" and Jay's are "rounded".
